Mr Ripper says the Government is hoping the public will not notice important documents released over the holiday period, such as its mid-year economic review, due next week.

"And it's on top of six weeks of unparalleled media spin where we've had headline announcement after headline announcement without actually anything much behind those announcements at all," Mr Ripper said.

"They've been in spin overdrive ever since CHOGM and what they've done with this report, and what they're doing with the mid-year budget review next week, is just another example of their media spin."

The Government says it has no control over when EnergySafety releases its reports.
